I'm hoping to wear a 2 piece swimsuit down the road..will scars heal well enough in the future to do this? Please don't be shy to tell me if the scars will be too severe.. thanks

I was banded and now I'm sleeved so I have ... count 'em! 10 scars. They are hardly visible.

Honestly, the stretch marks and saggy skin are 1000x worse.

To add to WASA's post, remember that scar tissue will get darker than the rest of your skin when exposed to sun so you'll need to use a high SPF to prevent it.

Definitely! Plus I have this really long scar from when I was split from breastbone to belly button for my gallbladder surgery.

I think I may wear a two-piece anyway. They are easier to pee in. :thumbup:

Excellent point! Alas, this body will NOT be displayed in a 2 piece this summer. I think if I did appear in a 2 piece, I'd clear the beach out... hmmmmmm... private beach! LOL.

Well I had a "two piece" when I was MO. Now only about 1-2 inches of skin showed between the top and the bottom, but I still had trepidation every time I put it on that people would be snickering at me behind my back.

But I survived so I think I can do it now when I have a lot less fat.

But not for my swim training. I have a 1 piece for that because it's strenuous.

You EARNED the right to wear a 2 piece! Go for it! Have you been to the beach and seen some of the women wearing a 2 piece let alone a bikini? It's NOT a pretty picture in a lot of cases. LOL.

My swim coach today told me it was time for a new suit. I guess I'm falling out of this one when I swim.
